Before your next meeting, just think about it

“When you think about it, the true cost of meetings
is staggering. Let’s say you’re going to schedule a meet-
ing that lasts one hour, and you invite ten people to at-
tend. That’s actually a ten-hour meeting, not a one-hour
meeting. You’re trading ten hours of productivity for
one hour of meeting time. And it’s probably more like
fifteen hours, because there are mental switching costs
that come with stopping what you’re doing, going
somewhere else to meet, and then resuming what you
were doing beforehand.”

Jjot – Online tool to take notes

Today I’ve discovered a very simple tool called Jjot which has the following slogan: “Take notes online, fast”. The tool has been recommended by many people, including those guys from lifehacker.

I’ve just started to use it and it’s the best tool I ever found for notes taking, it’s much better than google notebook. The only feature I miss is the possibility of grouping the noteboards under a parent noteboard. It would help the users to keep the notes even more organized. I’ve sent them an email suggesting this new feature. Let’s see what’s their answer.
